Any non-Boss owners wanna buy....

a Boss Alcantra wheel?
I am gauging interest because I bought my car with some defects on the wheel and want a new one.

that's what happens when you drive your Boss wearing a wedding ring...

heh, that makes sense!
I was going to say, someone chewed their wheel lol

 

[jneary]

its also what happens when you let the seat belt swing around when you unbuckle it...

Geez, how fat do you think he was? ;D ;D

A GT500 wheel is a good deal,

You might want to check it out. It's easier to keep clean too.

you know the aluminum is replaceable right?

No, I didn't know that. Please tell me more.

 

[BLAZN BOSS]

Yeah, those are servicable parts, Take battery cable off, unbolt the air bag on the two sides, remove wires, take off the aluminum and pop the new aluminum on. Check with your local dealer for the parts and they can give you the instructions.

Awesome, thx!

Or if you want to look like a McLaren...There is a video on how to install these somewhere in cyberspace and it shows detailed info on how to swap the parts.

I'd make sure, I just bought my daughter replacement switches for both sides. That was 106 dollars my cost. I have a feeling that is a price for the wheel only. If not, thats a great buy!!!!

 

[racered302]

That price looks about right. A little cheaper now compared to a couple of months ago. The gt500 wheel had all the gizums included but around $80 cheaper. The installation instruction are the same.

I had problems with paint on the wheel controls chipping off on my daughters mustang. Called the parts manager at my favorite Ford store. He ordered the parts and informed me this was covered under the bumper to bumper warranty. Free to me.

Also had a technician install when I went to pick up the part. Also no charge.

Could be worth checking with your dealer if the damage could be considered fair wear and tear.

Good luck

I'd save the $200 and time/effort of removing the steering wheel by just replacing the damaged plastic. Use some of the time saved to recondition the alcantara yourself. Vids on YT really help.

The GT500 wheel looks nice and is pretty cheap but the spots where the alcantara is are the only areas on my Boss wheel that get real dirty and require extra effort to clean. The rest of the wheel is a fast clean-up for me. Not bad if done regularly but time consuming if left until it turns scalely and crusty. :-\. Hard to avoid during the summer... ... without looking like a d-bag wearing driving gloves on the street.
